[Cialug] NetBeans on Flash Drive

[Todd Pierce]

Crew,

Presently installing the portable version that Scott suggested (I did try
this before but it's a different file name and Scott is probably smarter
than I am).

The point of this message, however, is that I'm not so stupid as to run
around with a USB drive development environment without backups in the
cloud (that's what cell phone users do, did you notice?).

This installation will take a bit and I have to run. I'll give you an
update and maybe I'll even hear from you guys tomorrow if I haven't bored
you already.

-Todd
